Ingredients:
For the Cajun Salmon and Shrimp:

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:
Prepare the Salmon and Shrimp:
In a bowl, toss the salmon fillets and shrimp with Cajun seasoning, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until well coated.
Cook the Salmon and Shrimp:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.

Stir in the lemon zest, chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for an additional minute.
Serve:
